About the roleOur Consulting practice is focussed on working in partnership with clients to deliver sustainable business change. We work with our clients to develop new ways of working; from end to end supply chain strategies to optimisation of discrete areas of the process. Supply chain management will increasingly become a major service differentiator for our clients across a range of sectors.

As customers demand increased product personalisation at lower cost, so the supply chain will need to respond to address increased globalisation, expansion of customer channels, sustainability and increasing regulatory burden. In the post ERP world, the insight demanded of the future supply chain organisation will present significant opportunity for PwC.

At the same time, you will be encouraged to initiate and develop new ideas to take to our clients. Our highly motivated team have an excellent track record of delivering high quality work to major international clients and has ambitious growth plans for the next few years.
